CaptainHappy replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
I must admit I am currently holding fire to see how the stuff to the south evolves. I would prefer to not be directly underneath it to be honest, as the rain appears to be pretty intense so you cant enjoy the experience without drowning.... With its current course, it will probably be a trip back to Barton on Sea to keep just east of it. -

Certainly are! Should have probably gone a tad further west to Christchurch -

Some of the festivities from earlier. Not long after this the definition was lost to rain. A couple of the mammatus that others have captured far more spectacularly, but its proof that it happened! -

Has all but passed for now here too. All eyes south again as it looks like the Channel could burst into life from nothing -
An interesting little clump forming just off the Brest peninsula. While it seemingly is moving west to east, could be interesting to keep an eye on if anything forms to its north ahead of the trough out west. Of course something may equally form to its south, but frankly my dears, we don't give a damn....

Are you actually on the clifftop? If you are, I bet the lightning is pretty impressive -

CaptainHappy replied to Nick F's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Well I have to say, even though the lightning is pretty infrequent, it it very spectacular -

Yup! But still a no show on Blitzortung. There seems to be a lot more going on than is being shown -

It seems not all strikes are registering on Blitzortung. Just had a couple here and no show on the map -

One or two strikes near Lymington, but so far that's it, Nice thunder though. -

Is there any thunder from it? Seems to have sent electrical activity far to the east now... -

A pretty interesting looking and potent storm moving out into the North Sea east of Newcastle at the moment. Shame it is not over land as it would be nice to see some pictures of it. Doesn't seem to be producing much in the way of lightning though. -

CaptainHappy replied to Jane Louise's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
I have to say that despite what you may be seeing on the radar for us down here, very little of it seems to be reaching the ground as we are under what appears as a fairly heavy echo and yet there is nothing. Still time to go, but im loosing confidence at the moment -

CaptainHappy replied to grab my graupel's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Just had a shower here right on the coast. The cloud looks to be burning away and moving through on Sat24, but on the coast here we cannot hope for homegrown stuff. Will be watching the Bay of Biscay and around NW France with a keen eye over the next few hours. Nothing showing yet other than a lot of high level cloud in that area. -

who will be where then when this baby comes rolling in? which spots do people favour for viewing this awesomeness? -
Cant see much developing immediately from this little low coming up from the channel / NW France, however it seems possible that we could stand a good chance of importing or growing our own later on through the day? We are now very humid here and once the rainband clears through we could possibly be in a fairly good airstream for them to develop, with low pressure still nearby to potentially assist. Any thoughts?
